I tossed a few in cinnamon sugar and a few in salted caramel. I prefer the cinnamon sugar one as it keeps it less sweet. Hubbs loved the ones with salted caramel :). I used canned Sweet potato. You can also use baked, boiled or nuked and well mashed.
I am so out of words today. so lets just make these.
I added some reviews on the Vegan Indian Sweets Ebook page. If you made something from the ebook and liked it, please do let me know by email or on my facebook page!

I always love the sound of doughnuts though I think I've only ever had them a couple of times. They're not so big over here. I'm very tempted to buy a doughnut pan though to make your gorgeous recipes and to experiment with Ashley from the edible perspective's new doughnut book....!
ReplyDeleteI actually dont like fried doughnuts much. baked are awesome!:) oh i should check that book out. Alex form invegetableswetrust is also comig out with a vegan donut ebook!
DeleteYummy, I finally have a donut pan and can actually make these! Sweet potato is my favorite but for some reason I've been focusing on pumpkin a lot, I think it's time to make a switch.
ReplyDeleteI keep switching the 2 often too:)
Deletethese look phenomenal, lady! breakfast every day!
ReplyDeletethanks Caitlin. probably not everyday. hubbs loves his omelettes more :)
DeleteTime to dust off my doughnut pan. I've had such bad luck with it, but I have a feeling your recipe is going to work just fine. Yum!
ReplyDeleteG'day! Your photo is mouth watering, true!
ReplyDeleteWish I could come through the screen and try one of these right now too!
Cheers! Joanne
What is the alternative for spelt flour
ReplyDeleteyou can use all whole wheat flour. or use half whole wheat and half all purpose.
DeleteGorgeous photos, Richa! And a very inspiring story. I will be adding a link to your blog in "my favorite hangout" ... guess I have to buy a donut pan now. Those look amazing! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Helyn! :) we all need a donut pan!
DeleteI have flaxseed.... what do I need to do to turn it into flax meal? Thanks for the help!
ReplyDeleteput it in the blender and blend until it is a coarse meal.
DeleteThese are so much fun, I would have never thought to use sweet potato; I think I would be a cinnamon sugar girl too!
ReplyDelete[ Smiles ] Oh, lovely. Spiced sweet potato doughnuts!
ReplyDeleteLooks simply delicious!
ReplyDeleteMade these doughnuts tonight with the caramel icing. They were so good I ate two of them with no guilt at all as they are full of nutritious ingredients. What a delicious way to nourish our body!! Thanks so much for your talent in the kitchen. I'll be your newest follower on Facebook.
ReplyDeletehi, your recipe looks pretty good (and i will totally try it) but i have questions about some ingredients:
ReplyDelete- can raw sugar be replaced with white or brown sugar?
- can spelt flour be switched to all purpose wheat flour?
- what other kind of vinegar are acceptable? is white vinegar ok?
thanks!
yes you can use any sugar.
Deleteto sub spelt, use half wheat and half all purpose
any vinegar will work
God bless you! You've inspired me to cook healthily again despite my GI illness. Thank you
ReplyDeleteJust made them and they turned out great. I used all whole wheat flour as that is what I always have on hand. A milled flax and chia blend gave it a lovely texture. The spices are just right. And the little bit of cinnamon sugar and powdered sugar the right amount of sweetness to top them off. Yum! Best wishes, Tammy
ReplyDeleteAwesome! go glad they worked out so well! i love a good spiced doughnut with just mild sweetness :)
